I don’t catch every episode of every bootstrapper podcast, but the turn-of-the-year episodes are always most interesting to me (quick recap, current goals).

Good re-entry point for those who’ve skipped some episodes.

You should make a point of posting one of those.

In late 2022 I landed on my favorite exercise mix I’ve found yet. My goal is stick with this through 2023:

All year:
- 3x/week: 5x5 strength training
- 3x/week: Walking or rucking
- 1x/week: Tennis
- Daily: Stretching/Yoga

Winter:
- Snowboarding

Summer/Fall:
- Cycling

Good night sleep.
Great morning workout.
Brewed the perfect cup of coffee.
Sat down at my desk.
Threw on my work playlist.
First sip. Yum.
Ready for a productive Friday.

Spilled my mug all over my desk and floor.

I can confidently say that chatGPT eliminated several hours of googling and trial and error in my coding work today.

I can easily see myself just keeping a chatGPT window open alongside Sublime and Terminal in my daily workflow.

It's a tool.

I have a terrible habit of typing "messsage" and somehow being blind to the 3 "s" typo.

Kinda a problem, given the name of my company.

I find it helpful to describe in detail 2 potentialities for upcoming year:

Path A: If my strategy and execution brings the results I want.

Path B: If they don’t. Then this is the alternative path.

I don’t hope for Path B. But describing it in detail makes it palatable (enjoyable and rewarding even). Without describing it, Path B is simply “Not Path A” and that looks like failure. Something to fear.

Helps me stay indifferent and just focus on what I can control: Strategy & execution.
